To Mr. M. Lebed go our thanks for access to the archives and background information on the members of the Supreme Ukrainian Liberation Council. Dr. M. Prokop kindly shared his knowledge about individual events, authors, and members of the UHVR. Dr. V. Potishko offered information about K. Osmak; Mr. R. Petrenko about P. Chuiko; and Rev. Dr. Iu. Shumovsky about his brother P. Shumovsky. Dr. M. Ripeckyj and Mr. V. Makar were very helpful in tracing various difficult and obscure details, and Mr. J. Majiwskyj helped with archival problems and other technical questions. Mrs. H. Malyk had the onerous job of retyping often illegible texts, and Mrs. Z. Keywan did the translations often as a personal sacrifice. Mr. M. Yurkevich deserves our profound thanks for his work both as advisor and as copy-editor. We are grateful to them all. Dr. M.R. Lupul and the Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies deserve our special thanks for the research grant that made this volume possible, as does McMaster University for handling so efficiently the financial problems connected with this enterprise. INTRODUCTION This anthology of political writings of the Ukrainian underground dur­ ing and immediately after the Second World War (1943-51) includes the works of the leading underground publicists who made a significant contribution to the development of Ukrainian political thought. The ar­ ticles and documents collected here also mark several points at which important ideological shifts took place and changes were made in the organizational structure, strategy and tactics of the Ukrainian un­ derground. The underground struggle in Ukraine occurred in two stages, each with its own strategy and tactics and each determined by the specific condi­ tions of the time. The first stage (1941-4) was the period of German occupation. This period was characterized by the vigorous, large-scale development of partisan warfare waged by the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (Ukrainska povstanska armiia, UPA), which was created in 1942. The army’s foremost task was to defend the population against the racist, destruc­ tive policies of the Nazis and against the marauding bands of Red partisans, which often behaved in the most callous and provocative manner toward the Ukrainian population. At this time the UPA grew into a major force (its peak strength was approximately 40,000)1 capa­ ble of clearing large regions of Ukrainian territory of the enemy and ad­ ministering them on its own. хіі Introduction The underground writings of this period fully reflected the conditions of the struggle. They exposed the criminal policy of the Nazis toward Ukraine and neighbouring countries. They discussed the hostile attitude of the Ukrainian population to the occupiers. They indicated the need to develop proper countermeasures against the forcible conscription of young people for work in Germany and advised how best to resist the enemy. The writings of this period, which are full of optimism, express the belief that in the cataclysmic confrontation of the two brands of im­ perialism, Nazi and Soviet, both would perish, and that all the subject peoples of Europe, including the Ukrainians, would win a free and in­ dependent existence in their sovereign states. The second stage (1945-51) is marked by a shift to new forms of struggle under conditions of renewed Soviet control. The years 1945-7 may be considered a transitional period characterized by large-scale armed resistance as heretofore, as well as intensive underground organ­ ization and activity of small conspiratorial groups. During this second period the underground writers exhibited a more ju­ dicious and sober evaluation of the prospects for the liberation struggle. They were fully aware that the contest would be very long, complex, difficult and full of sacrifices. Nevertheless, they concluded that in the conditions of Soviet totalitarianism underground warfare was the only viable form of political struggle available to them. This activity was to be undertaken by small guerrilla detachments for purely political pur­ poses. However, underground work in general was to be conducted in highly conspiratorial fashion with a view to the political education and mobilization of the masses. This change of tactics and development of new forms of struggle repre­ sents only one side of the coin. The other side—much more important, in our opinion—manifested itself in the changes brought about within the ideological sphere. Organized Ukrainian nationalism had developed during the inter-war period as a reaction against the socialist and democratic-populist currents which dominated the revolution of 1917— 20. Before the revolution, the leading Ukrainian intellectuals in the Russian Empire favoured a decentralized federation with broad political and cultural autonomy for Ukraine. It was only after the Provisional Government and the Bolsheviks had demonstrated their hostility to the federalist concept that the independence of the Ukrainian People’s Re­ public was proclaimed in January 1918. In the western Ukrainian lands under Habsburg rule, where the national movement was much farther advanced than in the Russian Empire, Ukrainian independence was seen as an ultimate goal to be achieved after a period of federation with Austria. The Western Ukrainian People’s Republic was not proclaimed until November 1918, when Austria was on the point of collapse. The Introduction хііі united Ukrainian republic, established in January 1919, was over­ whelmed by the invading Russians and Poles. The failure of the struggle for independence radicalized many who had taken part in it. For the ex-officers and soldiers of Ukrainian ar­ mies who formed the underground Ukrainian Military Organization (Ukrainska viiskova orhanizatsiia, UVO) in 1921, it was axiomatic that the national identity of the Ukrainian people could find expression only in an independent state. Operating on the Ukrainian lands under Polish rule, the UVO carried

  • Educational Strategy Selection of Religious Minorities in Modern Iran: the Case of the Jewish, Christian, and Baha’I Communities
    Educational Strategy Selection of Religious Minorities in Modern Iran: The Case of the Jewish, Christian, and Baha’i Communities Sina Mossayeb Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2010 © 2010 Sina Mossayeb All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT Educational Strategy Selection of Religious Minorities in Modern Iran Sina Mossayeb Based on the concept of education as a universal right, this dissertation analyzes the impact of government repression on the access to and quality of educational opportunities of minority groups, and the strategies used by marginalized and discriminated groups in response to educational inequity under authoritarian regimes. Do minority groups accept, tolerate, resist, or reject the limitations imposed on them? Do they establish their own institutions and services, or leave the country in pursuit of educational opportunity? This dissertation describes and illustrates the situation of three groups: Jews, Christians, and Baha’is, living in modern Iran. I argue that group composition and characteristics, networks, and regime-group relations significantly shape the strategies developed, selected, and deployed by minority groups in meeting educational needs. Relational dynamics between the groups (and their internal communities) and the regime, and other transnational actors are critical motivating factors in the pursuit of educational opportunities. I draw on historical analysis and the mechanism-process approach to identify educational strategies and explain how they are selected, and argue that group features both affect educational strategy selection, and are affected by previous strategies. The relational dynamics of interactions, conditions, processes, and outcomes are considered as causal factors in educational strategy selection.

  • Culture and Change in Ukraine
    East European Reflection Group (EE RG) Identifying Cultural Actors of Change in Belarus, Ukraine and Moldova Culture and Change in Ukraine Report prepared by Yael Ohana, Rapporteur Generale Bratislava, August 2007 Culture and Change in Ukraine “Shto delat’? (What is to be done?) I kto vinovat’? (And who is to blame?)” 19th century Russian saying Introduction1 Belarus, Moldova and Ukraine have recently become direct neighbours of the European Union. Both Moldova and Ukraine have also become closer partners of the European Union through the European Neighbourhood Policy. Neighbourhood usually refers to people next-door, people we know, or could easily get to know. It implies interest, curiosity and solidarity in the other living close by. For the moment, the European Union’s “neighbourhood” is something of an abstract notion, lacking in substance. In order to avoid ending up “lost in translation”, it is necessary to question and some of the basic premises on which cultural and other forms of European cooperation are posited. In an effort to create constructive dialogue with this little known neighbourhood, the European Cultural Foundation (ECF) and the German Marshall Fund of the United States (GMF) are currently preparing a three- year partnership to support cultural agents of change in Belarus, Moldova and Ukraine. In the broad sense, this programme is to work with, and provide assistance to, initiatives and institutions that employ creative, artistic and cultural means to contribute to the process of constructive change in each of the three countries. ECF and GMF have begun a process of reflection in order to understand the extent to which the culture sphere in each of the three countries under consideration can support change, defined here as processes and dynamics contributing to democratisation, Europeanisation and modernisation in the three countries concerned.

Courtly Connections: Anthony Sherley’s Relation of his trauels (1613) in a Global Context KAYA S¸AHIN, Indiana University JULIA SCHLECK, University of Nebraska –Lincoln This article revisits Anthony Sherley’s Relation of his trauels into Persia (1613), reading the text within the larger context of early modern Eurasia. It highlights the ways in which at least one European traveler sought and found not alterity, but commensurable structures, social roles, political ideologies, and personal motivations in the Islamic polities to the east and emphasized these connections to his European readers. Furthermore, in making the case that Sherley’s narrative is informed by local actors in Safavid Persia, it maintains that a certain level of Eastern knowledge is present within Western texts from this period and awaits scholarly excavation. INTRODUCTION DESPITE VARIOUS ATTEMPTS by literary theorists and historians to find more integrative ways of studying early modern societies and cultures, fairly essentialist notions of the difference between Europe and the rest of the world continue to persist in scholarship.
